Subject: RE: OT: Need consultant in Fresno, CA
OK, never mind.
I was looking specifically for someone LOCAL to Fresno, California to
visit a customer premise one time and deal with what is probably a
very simple issue such as a router or switch unplugged, telco line
trouble despite their claiming that all tests clear, etc.
Essentially I need a CCNA level person, or any carbon-based life form that
is physically located in or within an hour or so of Fresno, California, USA
able to type, read, observe colored lights and follow instructions. The
key words were "in Fresno, CA". If the lab question asks for you to apply
an access list on router "Fresno", you won't get the points if you apply it
to router "Singapore." I posted here hoping to get a higher level of
expertise and professionalism (which we're willing to pay for).
I've been deluged with resumes and offers from people literally all over the
world, the closest being three hours away by car (which was the only reply
that was responsive.) I'm in Santa Barbara, closer than all but one of the
replies, and would have gone myself if I wanted to rack up several hours of
travel for what is probably a ten minute fix. The customer simply doesn't
know/want to give us any hands on site to look in the phone closet, telnet
to the router inside and "show int", power-cycle a box, etc. "Get someone
here to fix it."
Perhaps my request wasn't very clear. If so, I apologize. We're going to
use the online yellow pages, call a local computer shop, and ask them to
give us a couple of names. I was hoping to help out a random fellow Cisco
certicication type person. Probably partially my fault for not using the
regular Groupstudy list instead of this one.
